Well Nigel, I finaly succeded in getting my switches apart today and I've swopped 'em both over. So now the L/H indictor switch is now the horn and the right hand one is now the 'cancel' switch. The original horn and cancel switches are now the left and right indicators. I'll see how I get on with this arangment and if I like it I'll re-colour and re-lable the buttons but already it seems a more natural lay-out. Thanks for your help mate.

Mr. Spock is my role model so be advised; I possess no (discernible) sense of humour.

dont your indicators self cancel ,, mine do , as such i seldom use the cancel button ,, i actually like the set up as it is ,,, but only because of the self cancel function , i thought they all did that.

I had a R1150RT for years, then a Bandit 600 for commuting daily, and now back to the BMW indicator set up.... occaisionally I hit the horn instead of the left indicator...doh! The indicator lever on the Bandit is right where the horn button is on the BMW!

There was just enough room without modifying the wiring to do this . Obviously the external "levers" are marked incorrectly now, but I haven't looked down since...

I'm sure that there was a company making a kit to fit suzuki bandit switch gear to replace the BMW stuff. however i prefer the paddle style indicators, much easier to use especially when wearing winter gloves. But i do know what you mean about the horn, i've yet to manage to find the damn thing when i need it.
also wasn't there an extension to fit onto the indicator cancel button that could aslo fit the horn? sure i saw this when i had my K1200

Swap the horn switch and the indicator cancel functions over? I used to fancy trying that configuration. Shouldn't be SO hard?
